Well I know that food stamps is money given to you from the government to help in purchasing groceries. You said that you knew you couldn't use food stamps at a cafeteria/restaurant.

I wonder if you're doing things in the wrong way even though you have good intentions? The card has been used and is tattered (old). It kind of reminds me of the scripture where Jesus gives the example of pouring new wine into old wineskin. You cannot do that because the skin will burst. You have to get a new wineskin (new mindset, set free, shed old ways) before you can get that "new anointing" or "new information/revelation" that God wants to give you! ITs like you know you weren't supposed to be in that line with that card, maybe hoping noone would notice? make sense?

Get you not only a new card but one that works for what you're doing! God has place that fits you perfectly!
